AOLISHENG Push to Open Drawer Runners 400mm Heavy Duty 45kg Full Extension Side Mount (Black, 1 Pair)
Product description
Quick overview
If you want a kitchen drawer that opens the moment you give it a light push, these AOLISHENG push-to-open drawer runners are built for that. Instead of pulling a handle, the drawer rebounds and slides out as soon as you touch it. On top of that, they’re full extension ball bearing runners, so the drawer can come right out further than many basic slides—useful when you’re trying to reach items tucked at the back.
That said, they’re not a “fit and forget” part. Push-to-open mechanisms and side-mount clearance requirements mean you’ll want to measure your drawer depth and plan the installation gap carefully. Get that bit wrong and the push-to-open feel—or even the smooth travel—can be less reliable.
What they are and what you’ll notice in use
These are side-mounted drawer slides designed for push-to-open operation. The slide rails include a black plastic buckle at the back of the rail, which is also how the drawer can be detached for removal. In day-to-day terms, this is the kind of upgrade that makes kitchens feel more effortless: you can nudge the drawer with your hip or forearm while your hands are busy, and it glides out.
The full extension layout is the second big day-to-day difference. Compared with shorter-travel runners, it makes rummaging less of a reach-and-guess job—particularly for drawers used for kitchen tools, utensils, or storage boxes.
Key points
The headline here is the push-to-open action paired with full extension ball bearing travel. The runners are described as heavy duty, with a 45kg load capacity and an electroplated/electrophoresis surface treatment aimed at reducing oxidation risk.
They’re also designed to be detacheable: pressing the buckle area allows the drawer to be taken out. For anyone who has had to pull a drawer apart for cleaning or to access plumbing underneath, that convenience is more than just marketing.
Where it shines (and where it can fall short)
What stands out: - Push-to-open without a pull action: you touch the drawer and it rebounds open. - Full extension ball bearing design: better access when the drawer is fully drawn out. - Heavy duty positioning on paper: the stated 45kg load capacity suits sturdier kitchen drawer setups. - Corrosion resistance approach: electrophoresis treatment is intended to reduce direct air contact with the rail steel.
Where you may need to be cautious: - This is a metal product, so installation involves handling sharp-ish edges—gloves are recommended. - Push-to-open setups depend on correct clearance and alignment. The input calls out installation clearance and buffer positioning, so if your drawer doesn’t match those conditions, performance may suffer. - It may be more “heavy duty” than you need if you’re fitting a lightweight drawer with minimal loads, in that case, you might be paying for features you won’t fully use.

Getting the most from them: practical tips before you buy
It’s worth checking measurement basics before committing. The slide length should be no longer than the drawer length, and you should allow the stated installation clearances. For drawers with an outer cover, the guidance says to reserve a buffer position (2mm to 4mm) on the inner side of the panel, otherwise normal use of the slide function may be affected.
A realistic example: if you’re swapping older runners in a kitchen cabinet, take five minutes to confirm your drawer depth and the space around the sides. Set up the clearance first, then mount the rails. Once aligned, the push-to-open effect is more likely to feel consistent when you test by gently touching the drawer front.
Also, plan for hand safety—these are metal components and the guidance suggests wearing gloves.
Mini FAQ
Are these full extension drawer slides?
Yes. The runners are described as full extension ball bearing drawer slides, intended to let the drawer fully pull out.
Do they open by pushing once installed?
That’s the main design: push-to-open, with the drawer rebounding and sliding open as soon as you touch it.
What clearance do I need to install them?
The input specifies an installation clearance of 12.7mm to 13mm (each), plus buffer guidance for drawers with an outer cover.
Can the drawer be removed easily?
According to the description, the drawer can be taken out by pressing the black plastic buckle at the back of the slide rail.
Final verdict
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you’re fitting a side-mounted kitchen drawer and want push-to-open convenience alongside full extension access, especially for heavier, everyday-use storage. It makes sense if you’re comfortable measuring for the stated clearance/buffer requirements and want smoother handling thanks to the ball bearing design.
It might not be a great match if you can’t reliably set the installation gaps, or if your drawer is small/light enough that full extension and heavy-duty capacity are overkill. Worth considering only if your measurements and drawer build line up with the guidelines, otherwise, the push-to-open mechanism may feel less convincing or the slide function may not run as intended.
